Cancer Clinical Trial - Synthetic Metabolic & Genetic Networks for Medical

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a category 3 human study, prospective, comparative, in parallel groups. A comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis of several markers in 250 samples is proposed.

Clinical Trial Description

The assumption is that researchers can engineer synthetic metabolic and genetic networks to expand the panel of molecules that are currently known to be detected by natural systems. The investigators also hypothesize synthetic metabolic and genetic networks can be tuned for decisions making and in particular to diagnose diseases from biomarkers detections. This project proposes for the first time a hybrid analogue / digital solution for the multiplexed detection of biomarkers using bacterial and paper-based biosensors. Biosensors can be designed using analog or digital devices. Digital devices in synthetic and natural systems are noise-resistant and useful for decision-making. Analog devices are useful for signal transmission and processing. Here the investigators take advantage of signal transmission and processing via analog transducers and adders, and then decision-making via genetic switches. Such a hybrid analogue / digital approach has not yet been developed for biosensing. Another novelty of the project is to use synthetic metabolic pathways to develop analog devices. The advantage in term of treatment, for example, consists in the fact that the speed of enzymatic reactions in an analog adder far exceeds the speed of gene expression required to create a genetic logic matrix; it becomes even more pronounced when the devices are connected in series. The methodology will be illustrated for the detection of biomarkers of prostate tumors, but it is broad enough to be applicable to other diagnoses. The choice to develop biosensors for prostate disease is of practical relevance since the current screening strategy (based on PSA measurement) can lead to overdiagnosis and cannot differentiate between patients with aggressive tumors and those with an indolent illness.This study propose to mainly develop a bacterial and paper-based biosensor system ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
